I, too, wished for more detail about the family research process. Still, I enjoyed the book and would recommend it, as you do.

Not only for motivation to continue my genealogy research but to practice &quot;paying it forward!&quot; Now I&#39;ll have to check out Bold Spirit, too.Heather Kuhn Roelkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247311735034470203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3219561941481203089.post-48136071019541856562011-05-09T16:49:24.478-04:002011-05-09T16:49:24.478-04:00Nancy, thanks for the recommendation.

I put it on reserve at the library and will look forward to reading it.<br><br />I just wrote a post about <i>Bold Spirit</i>, the story of Helga Estby&#39;s 3500 walk across America in 1896. It&#39;s an excellent read as an example of how to place an ancestor in his/her contemporary environment. If you haven&#39;t read it, you may enjoy it, too.<br />Nancy from My Ancestors at Me at http://nancysfamilyhistoryblog.blogspot.comNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.com
